Last updated: April 19, 2026  ·  Effective immediately upon access These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“You”, “User”, “Client”) and FieldFunded (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Company”) governing your access to and use of the FieldFunded Sports API (“API”, “Service”). The API is a commercial sports data service that delivers real-time odds, scores, settlements, and related metadata. The API is not a gambling or betting platform.

​

1. Acceptance & Eligibility

​

1.1 Agreement to Terms

By subscribing to, accessing, or making any request to the API — whether through RapidAPI, a direct API key, or the official SDK — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease all use of the API.

​

1.2 Authority to Bind

If you are using the API on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In such cases, “You” refers to both you individually and the entity you represent.

​

1.3 Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) to use the API. By accessing the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.

​

1.4 Compliance with Local Law

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the API and the data it provides complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to data protection, gambling regulation, and consumer protection laws.

​

2. Definitions

• “API” — The FieldFunded Sports API, including all endpoints, documentation, SDKs, and associated tooling.
• “API Key” — A unique authentication credential issued to you for accessing the API, delivered via RapidAPI subscription or direct issuance.
• “API Data” — All data delivered through the API, including but not limited to odds, scores, markets, settlements, team metadata, logos, and statistical information.
• “Plan” — The subscription tier you have selected, which determines your rate limits, monthly quota, and pricing.
• “Upstream Provider” — Third-party data sources from which we aggregate and normalize sports data.
• “Client Application” — Any software, website, mobile app, bot, or service that you build or operate using API Data.
• “Documentation” — The technical documentation available at docs.fieldfunded.com, including the OpenAPI specification, endpoint descriptions, and integration guides.
• “Settlement Data” — Per-market resolution outcomes for finished events (e.g., won, lost, refund).
• “Overage” — API requests made beyond your Plan’s monthly quota, applicable only to the soft-limit Mega plan.

​

3. API Access & Authentication

​

3.1 API Key Issuance

Access to the API requires a valid API Key. Keys are issued through one of two channels:

1. RapidAPI Marketplace: By subscribing to any plan on our RapidAPI listing. Authentication is handled via the X-RapidAPI-Key header.
2. Direct Issuance: By requesting a key through our Documentation portal at docs.fieldfunded.com. Authentication uses the X-API-Key header.

​

3.2 Key Security

Your API Key is personal, confidential, and non-transferable. You are solely responsible for:

• Safeguarding your key and preventing unauthorized access.
• All activity that occurs under your key, whether authorized by you or not.
• Immediately notifying us at support@fieldfunded.com if you suspect your key has been compromised.

​

3.3 Key Revocation

We reserve the right to revoke, suspend, or rotate any API Key at any time, with or without prior notice, if we reasonably believe the key has been compromised, is being used in violation of these Terms, or poses a risk to the integrity of the Service.

​

4. Acceptable Use Policy

​

4.1 Permitted Use

You may use the API and API Data to:

• Build and operate Client Applications that display or process sports data.
• Perform internal analysis, research, and quantitative modeling.
• Power automated betting systems, odds comparison tools, and data aggregation services for your own use or your end users, subject to applicable law.
• Cache API responses for up to 60 seconds for performance optimization.
• Store Settlement Data and finished game snapshots for long-term historical analysis.

​

4.2 Attribution

If you display API Data in any publicly accessible interface (website, app, social media), you must provide visible attribution to FieldFunded. Attribution may take the form of a “Data by FieldFunded” text link or logo placement. Attribution requirements may be waived for Custom Plan subscribers upon written agreement.

​

4.3 Responsible Integration

You agree to implement reasonable error handling, respect rate limit headers (X-RateLimit-Remaining), and follow the polling intervals recommended in our Documentation. You shall not implement retry logic that ignores 429 responses or circumvents rate limiting through any technical means.

​

5. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

1. Redistribute Raw Data: Share, resell, sublicense, or redistribute raw API Data to third parties without prior written consent. Displaying derived or transformed data to your end users within your Client Application is permitted.
2. Facilitate Illegal Activity: Use the API to operate or facilitate unlicensed gambling, money laundering, or any activity prohibited by applicable law in your jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of your end users.
3. Circumvent Rate Limits: Use key rotation, IP rotation, proxy networks, or any automated method to exceed or bypass your Plan’s rate limits.
4. Reverse Engineer: Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code, algorithms, or underlying data pipeline logic of the API.
5. Attack the Service: Send requests designed to degrade service quality, including DDoS attacks, load testing against production endpoints, or intentional exploitation of vulnerabilities.
6. Misrepresent Source: Present API Data as originating from your own proprietary data sources without proper attribution.
7. Scrape or Crawl: Use automated crawlers, scrapers, or bots to systematically extract data beyond normal API consumption patterns.
8. Competitive Replication: Use the API to build a substantially similar competing API data service offering the same data to third parties.
9. Abuse Monitoring Endpoints: Use /ping, /health, or /status endpoints at frequencies exceeding one request per second, even though they are exempt from monthly quotas.

​

6. Rate Limits & Quotas

​

6.1 Three-Layer Enforcement

Rate limits are enforced per API Key across three layers:

• Burst (per second): Prevents API hammering. Exceeding this returns 429 immediately.
• Hourly: Prevents excessive sustained polling within a given hour.
• Monthly: Your total request quota for the billing cycle.

​

6.2 Plan-Specific Limits

Your specific limits depend on your subscribed Plan. Current limits are published in the API Documentation and on the RapidAPI listing. We reserve the right to adjust rate limits with at least 14 days’ written notice to active subscribers, except where immediate changes are reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or service stability.

​

6.3 Hard vs. Soft Limits

• Hard-limit plans (Free, Starter, Pro, Ultra): When your monthly quota is exhausted, all subsequent requests return 429 Too Many Requests until the next billing cycle.
• Soft-limit plan (Mega): When your monthly quota is exceeded, requests continue at an overage rate of $0.0003 per request. No service interruption occurs.

​

6.4 Monitoring

You are responsible for monitoring your usage via the X-RateLimit-Remaining response header, the /v1/usage endpoint, or the Developer Portal. Progressive warning headers (X-RateLimit-Warning) are provided at 50%, 80%, and 95% consumption thresholds as a courtesy, but do not constitute a guarantee of notification.

​

7. Data Ownership & Licensing

​

7.1 Our Data

All API Data — including odds, scores, markets, settlements, team metadata, logos, and statistical information — remains the intellectual property of FieldFunded and/or our Upstream Providers. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any data to you.

​

7.2 Your License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your active subscription, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use API Data within your Client Application for the duration of your subscription period.

​

7.3 Caching & Storage

• Short-term caching: You may cache API responses for up to 60 seconds for performance optimization.
• Historical storage: You may store Settlement Data and finished game snapshots indefinitely for historical analysis and record-keeping purposes.
• Prohibited storage: You may not build a persistent database of live odds data for the purpose of creating a competing data service.

​

7.4 Sublicensing

You may not sublicense, resell, or redistribute raw API Data to third parties without prior written authorization. Displaying processed, derived, or transformed data within your Client Application to your end users is permitted. For data redistribution agreements, contact support@fieldfunded.com.

​

8. Data Accuracy & Disclaimer

​

8.1 Third-Party Sources

API Data is aggregated and normalized from multiple Upstream Providers. While we implement multi-layer validation, deduplication, and quality checks, the original data originates from third-party sources over which we do not have direct control.

​

8.2 No Guarantee of Accuracy

We do not guarantee 100% accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of API Data at all times. Temporary discrepancies, delayed updates, or data gaps may occur due to upstream provider issues, network latency, or event-specific circumstances.

​

8.3 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for implementing your own verification logic, error handling, and fallback mechanisms for any critical decisions based on API Data. This includes, but is not limited to, financial decisions, automated betting systems, and real-time trading algorithms.

​

9. Intellectual Property

​

9.1 Ownership

All rights, title, and interest in and to the API — including its architecture, endpoints, documentation, branding, logos, and source code — are and shall remain the exclusive property of FieldFunded. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, service marks, or trade dress.

​

9.2 Feedback

If you provide us with suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback regarding the API, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate such feedback into the Service without obligation to you.

​

9.3 Your Client Application

You retain all rights to the Client Applications you build using the API. We claim no ownership over your code, designs, or business logic. However, your Client Application must comply with these Terms and may not infringe on our intellectual property rights.

​

10. Service Availability & SLA

​

10.1 Uptime Target

We target 99.9% uptime across all plans, backed by redundant infrastructure with automatic failover. This is a best-effort operational target, not a contractual guarantee for standard plans.

​

10.2 Formal SLA

Contractual SLA guarantees with defined uptime commitments, credit compensation, and dedicated support channels are available exclusively on Custom Plans. Contact support@fieldfunded.com for enterprise SLA terms.

​

10.3 Scheduled Maintenance

We may perform scheduled maintenance that temporarily reduces availability. We will provide at least 48 hours’ notice for planned maintenance via the Developer Portal and status page. Emergency maintenance to address critical security issues or service degradation may be performed without prior notice.

​

10.4 No Liability for Downtime

We are not liable for losses, damages, or costs resulting from temporary unavailability, data delays, degraded performance, or Upstream Provider outages, except as explicitly covered by a formal SLA agreement.

​

11. Payment & Billing

​

11.1 Subscription Plans

API access is offered through tiered subscription plans. Pricing, features, and limits for each plan are published on our RapidAPI listing and Documentation. We reserve the right to modify pricing with at least 30 days’ written notice to existing subscribers.

​

11.2 Billing Channels

• RapidAPI: Billing is handled entirely by RapidAPI according to their terms of service. Refunds and disputes for RapidAPI subscriptions must be directed to RapidAPI support.
• Direct Plans: For custom or direct-billed plans, invoices are issued monthly. Payment terms are Net 15 unless otherwise agreed in writing.

​

11.3 Overages

The soft-limit Mega plan that exceeds its monthly quota will incur overage charges at $0.0003 per additional request. Overages are billed at the end of each billing cycle. You may set hard caps on overage spending through the Developer Portal.

​

11.4 Non-Payment

Failure to pay outstanding invoices within 30 days of the due date may result in suspension of API access, downgrade to the Free tier, and/or referral to collections. We will provide at least 7 days’ written notice before suspending access due to non-payment.

​

11.5 Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or at our sole discretion. Partial-month refunds are not provided for mid-cycle cancellations.

​

12. Confidentiality

​

12.1 Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” means any non-public information disclosed by either party, including API Keys, internal pricing, technical architecture, business plans, and any data marked as confidential. API Data delivered through standard endpoints is not considered Confidential Information.

​

12.2 Obligations

Each party agrees to:

• Protect the other party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses for its own (but no less than reasonable care).
• Not disclose Confidential Information to third parties without prior written consent.
• Use Confidential Information only for the purposes contemplated by these Terms.

​

12.3 Exceptions

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed without reference to Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order.

​

13. Privacy & Data Protection

​

13.1 Data We Collect

​

13.2 Usage Analytics

We monitor API usage patterns for security, abuse detection, capacity planning, and service improvement. Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics may be used for internal analytics and public benchmarks (e.g., “Our API serves X million requests per month”).

​

13.3 Data Retention

API request logs are retained for 90 days for debugging and support purposes. Billing records are retained for 7 years in compliance with financial reporting obligations. You may request deletion of your account data by contacting support@fieldfunded.com.

​

13.4 GDPR & International Compliance

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data protection laws, our processing of your personal data is governed by our official data protection standards. We process data as a Controller for account management and as a Processor when handling data on your behalf.

​

13.5 Data Processing Addendum (DPA)

For business customers that require a DPA (including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable), we provide one upon written request. To request a DPA, contact support@fieldfunded.com.

​

​

19.3 Binding Arbitration

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Delaware, USA, or remotely at your election, unless applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction requires a different forum.

​

19.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations.

​

19.5 Statute of Limitations

Any claim arising under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred.

​

20. General Provisions

​

20.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable Custom Plan agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and FieldFunded regarding the API and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations.

​

20.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

​

20.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of FieldFunded.

​

20.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of our assets without your consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is invalid and unenforceable.

​

20.5 Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, Internet outages, power failures, or upstream provider disruptions.

​

20.6 Independent Contractors

The relationship between you and FieldFunded is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.

​

20.7 Notices

All notices to FieldFunded must be sent to support@fieldfunded.com. All notices to you will be sent to the email address associated with your API Key or account. Notices are deemed received when sent via email.

​

20.8 Export Compliance

You agree to comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations. You may not use the API in any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (including, but not limited to, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine).

​

21. API Versioning & Deprecation

​

21.1 Versioning Scheme

The API uses URI-based versioning (e.g., /v1/, /v2/). Each major version represents a stable contract. Minor updates, bug fixes, and additive changes (new fields, new endpoints) are deployed within the current version without notice and are always backward-compatible.

​

21.2 Breaking Changes

A “breaking change” is any modification that could cause existing integrations to fail, including removal of endpoints, renaming of fields, changes to response structure, or modification of authentication methods. Breaking changes are only introduced in new major versions.

​

21.3 Deprecation Policy

When a new major version is released, the previous version enters a deprecation period of at least 6 months, during which:

• The deprecated version continues to function normally.
• All responses include a Sunset header indicating the retirement date.
• Deprecation signaling headers are provided (for example, Deprecation and/or related links to migration documentation).
• Email notifications are sent to all active subscribers at the start, midpoint, and 30 days before sunset.

​

21.4 Sunset & Retirement

After the deprecation period ends, the retired version may return 410 Gone for all requests. We will publish migration guides in the Documentation at least 30 days before any version is retired.

​

22. Gambling & Regulatory Compliance

​

22.1 Data Provider Status

The API provides sports data — including odds, scores, and market information — for informational, analytical, and integration purposes. The availability of odds data through our API does not constitute an offer, solicitation, or endorsement of gambling or betting activities.

​

22.2 Your Regulatory Responsibility

If you use API Data to operate or support a gambling, betting, or fantasy sports platform, you are solely responsible for:

• Obtaining and maintaining all necessary licenses and permits in every jurisdiction where you operate.
• Implementing age verification, geolocation restrictions, and responsible gaming controls as required by law.
• Complying with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) obligations.
• Ensuring that your use of odds data complies with the regulatory framework of each jurisdiction you serve.
• Displaying all required legal disclaimers and responsible gaming disclosures to your end users.

​

22.3 No Regulatory Advice

Nothing in these Terms or our Documentation constitutes legal, regulatory, or compliance advice. We strongly recommend consulting qualified legal counsel in your jurisdiction before using API Data in connection with gambling or betting operations.

​

22.4 Restricted Jurisdictions

While we do not restrict API access by geography (the API serves data globally), you acknowledge that gambling and betting regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction. You must not use API Data to facilitate gambling activities in jurisdictions where such activities are prohibited by law.

​

22.5 Indemnification for Regulatory Violations

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FieldFunded from any claims, fines, penalties, or liabilities arising from your failure to comply with gambling, betting, or data protection regulations in any jurisdiction where you or your end users operate.
